Adventures in the kitchen and on the Big Green Egg

Banana Nutella Muffins

We have a jar of Nutella in the pantry that I bought to make Nutella Croissants. Last weekend I was making banana muffins and thought it would be fun to put a dollop of Nutella in the center before baking. It was a good idea. Especially warm. So next time you make your favorite banana muffins, try layering a teaspoon of Nutella in the batter. You won’t be disappointed!

Preheat oven to 350°. Line muffin tins with liners or coat with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring with a whisk. In a separate bowl, combine banana, yogurt and vanilla.

Beat sugar and butter with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy and well blended, about 1 minute. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add banana mixture and beat until blended. Add flour mixture and beat at low speed just until moist.

Fill muffin tins about 1/4 of the way full with the batter. Place 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each muffin. Fill muffin tins with remaining batter. They should be about 3/4 full.

Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on wire racks – but remember – these are best enjoyed warm!

I woke up last week to the smell of ripe bananas in my kitchen. Unfortunately I was out of Nutella, but had everything else for these delicious muffins. We used sour cream instead of yogurt and the muffins turned out light and oh so flavorable. Next time, I might try wheat flour for the added health benefits.

OH MY! Just made a batch! YUMMY-O!!! Thanks for sharing your recipe! I also like the fact they are somewhat healthy!
I used 1 cup all-purpose flour w/ 1 cup of whole wheat flour and they were a hit! My husband was trying to eat one right out of the muffin tin😀
